Frequently asked questions

In an attempt to guide newer customers, we have tried to answer questions that are frequently directed our way. However if your question has yet to be answered on here, feel free to send us an email or fill out a contact form!
What is your experience?
I have owned and been operating Divine Auto Spa at a professional level for 2+ years mainly out of Fairfax and Fredericksburg, Virginia. Before that, I would wash cars both for my family and the surrounding families in my neighborhood ever since I was a small child. This has led to worldwide certification through the IDA and over a decade of experience in the detailing world - with many more to come!
What does IDA certified mean?
It means I have passed a myriad of rigorous exams, all centered around automotive detailing and laws/compliances surrounding it. These exams are administered by the International Detailing Association (IDA). Don't just take it from me!

From the International Detailing Association…:

“The CD designation is a great achievement and demonstrates a degree of mastery of the knowledge and applied skills needed by the detailing professional. The pride of earning the CD designation places that detailing professional among a group at
the top of their profession.

CDs have not only demonstrated competency, but they have shown determination and commitment in completing the certification process.”
Do you offer mobile services?
We do! Please visit our services tab to see what service packages we offer - and then fill out a quote form under our contact tab at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!

Our range for our mobile detailing service is from Fredericksburg, Virginia all the way to southern Maryland. Additional charges will be applied for mobile servicing with rates dependent on distance.
How can I pay?
There is a plethora of payment options available here at Divine Auto Spa. 

Cash, Check, Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle are all supported payment methods at DAS..
Do you have fixed rates?
Due to the nature of our work - it is almost impossible to call every vehicle an equal task. That being said, we do have industry-leading pricing and package options available for all financial situations and needs! Please visit our “Services” page to see the starting rates for our prestigious packages.

Divine Auto Spa must be made aware of cancellation no less than 24 hours before your scheduled service date. Please contact us at any of our listed contact options under our “Contacts” page. Failure to notify before 24 hours of your appointment will result in full forfeiture of your appointment’s deposit.

Please fill out our quote form or contact us at any of our listed contact options under our “Contacts” page. We will be with you as soon as we can! Appointments are based on availability and service dependent.

*A deposit equal to 50% of an individual's services requested is due when being scheduled for your respective "Time and Date" of service. Once your deposit is received, your service appointment is locked in for its respective date and time chosen.
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is an advanced protective layer applied to the exterior or interior of the vehicle. Its benefit is that it acts a a shield against dirt, water, UV rays, and other common contaminants that worsen your paint and damage your vehicle. What makes the coating special is its hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties that keeps water and all other substances off of your vehicle, preventing them from sticking.

Choosing to put a ceramic coat on your car keeps that shiny "just cleaned" look on your car for much longer with much less maintenance. It provides much better protection than other waxes or sealants and further enhances your paints gloss and depth. We recommend it for anyone wanting the best protection and a lasting, eye catching finish that keeps your car vibrant and easy to clean.

Feel free to head over to our service page and look at the various ceramic coating services that we offer here at Divine Auto Spa!
How long will it take to DETAIL my car?
A typical full maintenance wash of any vehicle regardless of size is typically 2-3 hours. The larger the vehicle - the more time that may need to be allotted, however, this is our typical total time. 

For coatings and paint work - you should expect to have the service take anywhere from 4-6 hours. For extreme paintwork and restorations both interior and exterior - there may be a need to store the vehicle overnight at our shop for multi-day servicing. We will take whatever precautions are needed to restore your vehicle to the Divine standard and allow you to take pride in your vehicle.

You will be made aware of an estimate of how long your individual service(s) will take when your appointment is created with one of our staff members.
What is your most common package
Our most commonly purchased package is our One-Step paint enhancement package. Head to the *One-Step Paint Enhancement* portion of our services tab for more information on what is included in the service.
